TOOL FOR GUMMING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 647,181, dated April10, 1900..

7 Application filed August 25, 1899- Serial No. 728,461. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGENE FERDINAND FORSMAN, machine agent, of 28Horusgatan, Stockholm, in the Kingdom of Sweden, have invented anImproved Tool for Gumming, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a tool intended to be used for gummingor gluing paper, pasteboard, thin boards, or the like instead of the nowcommonly used method of applying dissolved gum with a brush.

The object of the invention is to do away with the drawbacks attached tothe use of dissolved gum and a brush such as, for instance, soiledfingers, &c.

Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in sec tion, of a gumming-toolembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is aside elevation, partly in section, of another form of gumming-tool madeaccording to my invention. Fig. 4 is a cross-section of Fig. 3. Fig. 5is an elevation of an other form of gumming-tool made according to myinvention. Fig. 6 is a cross section of Fig. 5,.taken on line no as.Fig. 7 is a side view of a further-modified form of gumnlingtool. Fig. 8is a section taken on line y y] of Fig. 7.

Referring to Fig. 1, the tool consists of a rod a, of gum-arabic orother gummy or glutinous material, preferably surrounded by aprotecting-cover b, of wood, metal, or pasteboard, or other suitablematerial. For the purpose of counteracting the effect caused byalterations of temperature on some gummy or glutinous materials threadst, of any suitable material, may be passed through the rod a of the gum.The number of these threads depends on the size and shape of the body.

Figs. 3 and at show the body of gum in a flattened shape 0, with thecover d cut away at the end, so that the tool is ready for use.

Figs. 5 and 6 show the body of gum in a tapering form e, the cover fnotcompletely covering the gum.

Figs. 7 and 8 show the body of gum in a pyramidal form. In this case thegum g is completely enveloped in its cover h.

lVhen thetool is to be used and as the gum wears down, the cover is cutor torn away at the end. When about to be used,

the. gum body is moistened and then applied to the article in the samemanner as a brush dipped into dissolved gum. The outer cover of thesetools, besides protecting the gum,prevents the soiling of the hand.

I claim as my invention-- 1. A gumming-tool consisting of a body ofgummy or glutinous material shaped in a suitable manner,and threadspassing through said body.

2. A gumming-tool consisting of gum-arabic or other gummy or glutinousmaterial shaped in a suitable manner and supplied with a cover or caseof suitable material, threads of suitable materialbeing passed throughthe said body of gum-arabic or other gummy or glutinous material.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

EUGENE FERDINAND FORSMAN.
